Before Covid

My True Story

Before Covid

Before Covid, I lived my life,

Mum and grandmother, happy wife.

The only ailments I suffered were few—

Arthritis, insomnia, nothing new.

I had dreams, they were out there,

Within my reach, without despair.

But then Covid came, and I fell ill,

My world turned grey; time stood still.

Weight gain, joint pain, tired but can’t sleep,

Eyesight problems, and all I could do was weep.

Nothing to do, just sit and pray,

Hoping this nightmare would go away.

Now I feel mental, I worry each day,

Every little pain takes peace away.

With physio, I try to get back again,

Exercise gentle, but life’s not the same.

I fear to go out; my mind’s in a dark place,

I just pray this will go soon, and again life I can face.

I want to enjoy again going out of the house

At my own steady before Covid pace.
